How many of you fellow gaming nerds got your hands on a PlayStation 4 this weekend? Apparently the systems were selling for $700+ on Kijiji on launch day, which is mind blowing. If you were bilked out of $700 to play a game system with a mediocre assortment of launch titles surely you must also own a Wii U, Ouya, Dreamcast, Saturn, Jaguar, 3DO…

I got to play some Call of Duty: Ghosts yesterday, which seems like a solid CoD title but not much else. The game really doesn’t look any better than any of its current generation counterparts, though the frame rates do make everything appear silky smooth.

There was one new innovation, you can play as Sandra Bullock.

We also discovered Ghosts doesn’t allow for four player split-screen. I’m not sure what it is with modern video games actively discouraging me from inviting my friends over to play games. There are very few grade A titles that allow for more than 2 local players. I’d pretty much need to buy a Wii U to find some “party” games, but then I’d have a Wii U in my house.

I guess we’re just supposed to play games as far away from one another as possible where we get to enjoy the richest concentration of homophobia on the internet. Hooray?

I picked up Ghosts for the 360 and was thoroughly disappointed that the Campaign mode didn’t even allow for 2-player split screen. I agree with you Gregg, if a console allows for up to 4 controllers to be connected, shouldn’t it be standard that multiplayer games like Ghosts use that functionality?

Also I’ve read that the new Xbox One can connect up to EIGHT controllers per console. Would love to see how a game pulls that off, or if every game just ignores it like Ghosts has.

Okay, so here’s the deal. I got caught up in freelance work last night and completely forgot about editing the podcast. I mean completely. It didn’t pop back into my mind until early this morning. I was so shocked with how solidly the task escaped my brain, fell to the floor and presumably took an island vacation, that I yelled a booming “FUCK!!” when I suddenly remembered the podcast.

Anyway, I’ll have the podcast for you guys tomorrow with many apologies. It’s a good one too, I feel it’s the best we’ve recorded so far.

In it’s place here is a Dead-Beef comic to tide you over. Now if you’ll remember a few weeks back I warned the DB comics were going to get weird…

It’s our 12th episode, which is 12 months of podcasts! By my calculations that is roughly one full year of podcasting.

This month we welcome the delightful Brittney Le Blanc back to the show! Brittney follows up on her 5k365 adventure meeting 5000 people in one year, as well as introducing us to a new local website called Gastropost.

Gregg details his experience with a jury summons, Jeremy opens up his dream journal, Mark fails to navigate a round-about and Erin is quieter than usual suffering from a viral infection.
